Fugly game but a win. Moving forward the Pack has to take care of business. If they do they are probably in but regardless if they don’t …
^I see no reason at all why we ought to be writing the DaVille off two weeks in advance…
We beat ‘Zona…
We beat Dook…
We beat the Holes in Chapel Hill…DaVille is no better or worse than the Noles…
That game is a 50/50 game as it stands today…With 5 to play…
on paper… we have 3 we ‘should’ win… and two toss-ups….——————
From here… it appears that the UGLIER it gets, the better our chances…GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!I’m not writing the Louisville game off. I don’t think they’re that good. They’ve got a high RPI, but who have they actually beaten that is any good? They also got smashed by a poor (by their standards) Kentucky team.
I’m just saying that because we won last night we don’t HAVE to win out to get in. We just can’t flub up with a bad loss. A win over another bubble team in FSU who we’re competing with for the last spot in the tournament is going to help us.
Do those two things and we don’t have to beat Louisville given we beat Syracuse. Lose a lower one, and we may need that game against Louisville.
I am not glad for the fouls but I am glad that the bench came into a tough game and played well. I would imagine that if reproduced it could help especially come tournament time.

Gotcha, that makes sense. I probably would have got that if we were having a face to face conversation or at least I hope so.
State tied in regulation at Chapel Hill and late at Cuse, and they come out with a win both times. I know there’s plenty to work on, but that speaks volumes to me.

No worries. I didn’t explain it well.
We have played consistently enough at home that I wouldn’t write off any of the home games. Our road efforts have been uneven. A win at WFU on Saturday would give us a little breathing room. That’s the only game I’m concerned about right now.

Yep, and we’re doing it without some lights out shooter or great FT shooter that can just ice a game away. We’re doing it as a function of a team effort.
I tend to think our conditioning pays off in the last 4-5 minutes of the game. Our guys last night were really deep into their defensive stances even late in the game. Syracuse (admittedly with only 6 players) looked gassed. Last year half our team looked like they might have a heart attack late in the games.
Well Tex, we’ve won a lot more on the road this year in the league than any I can remember recently and that’s with a rag-tag group of grad transfers etc. But to your point, we don’t want to freak-up in Winston.
We have to take care of business against Wake, BC and GT. Do that and we make 10 ACC wins. That alone MIGHT get us in depending on the ACC tournament and the rest of the bubble teams.
The ACC isn’t going to carry teams in the same way it has in the past, or carry us to multiple #1 seeds. We’re not the #1 RPI conference.

You are correct about the W’s. The first half performance against Pitt haunts me because we would have lost that game to anybody else besides Pitt. I have that one as a W* in my mind.

Markell made a cold blooded three in both of those games at crunch time even though he’s not Scott Wood or Ralston Turner from beyond the arc. He has some swagger
Tex, I think Markell is about 43 percent from 3. That’s not quite Wood and BSW, but it’s close.
Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy. Mao Zedong

It’s higher that BSW ever shot, and Wood only shot a higher percentage his senior year at 44%.
Granted, both of those guys shot a LOT more 3s than Markell has.
I really hope Coach Keatts finds a way to keep the Team from reading this…

realtimerpi.com shows us at #60 as of today. It projects our final 5 regular season games as follows:
02-17 at Wake Forest 10-16 (3-11) 124 79-80 L 02-20 Boston Coll. 16-10 (6-7) 79 83-75 W 02-25 Florida St. 18-8 (7-7) 37 83-77 W 03-01 at Georgia Tech 11-15 (4-9) 157 79-80 L 03-03 Louisville 18-8 (8-5) 40 78-71 WBased on that, it projects us at 20-11 (10-8) at the end of the regular season with #64 RPI. Not good. And, per these rankings, we do not have another chance at a quadrant 1 win over the remaining 5 regular season games.
I think we have a great chance to win all of these games, though I would be surprised to see a 5-0 sweep. But this seems to show that beating Wake, BC, and GT is definitely not enough to get State in.
^sorry… but they need to fire their math guy…
There’s NFW we lose to the Deacs and GT…
POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Five days of drinking bourbon at the shore so somebody has to voodoo hex the deacs. Much appreciation in advance.
Couldn’t find the restaurant thread. Whoever said the Seafood Hut was under new ownership and lower food quality was dead on.
I really hope Coach Keatts finds a way to keep the Team from reading this…

One thing the article did not mention was that the hardest part of the schedule is over.
